Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $14,000 station wagon!
A $4,400 diamond wedding band!
A $31,000 Corvette!
Over $125,000 just waiting to be won on...

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!

Mary solves GETTING MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR.
You didn't come here for just a little money. You want something big, so try and hit the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
It's taking longer than we wanted, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece!
Rob: W (DUD!)
